Carr Named Third-Team All-America
2014 NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division III Women's All-America Team
Senior defender Tyler Carr, who helped Nazareth win the co-championship of the Empire 8 Conference last month in women's soccer, has been named as a third-team All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Carr, of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. and a graduate of Saratoga Springs High School, has been a defensive standout for the Golden Flyers for four seasons and has started regularly for the past three seasons. She played in 75 games during her career, including 22 in 2014. She spearheaded a unit that posted a goals-against average of 0.80 with 11 shutouts. Carr was honored earlier this season as a first-team Empire 8 Conference all-star and was named the E8 Defensive Player of the Year. She also was named MVP of the Empire 8 Conference Tournament after Nazareth posted shutouts against Stevens and Ithaca to advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007.
"It's a great honor for Tyler and great recognition for our program," said Nazareth Coach
Gail Mann. "She definitely was a great leader on our team and a difference maker on defense."
Nazareth finished 15-4-4 in 2014 and reached the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament. Carr is Nazareth's seventh All-American selection in women's soccer, joining two-time selection Melanie Northrup (1997, 1999) as well as Jaime Snyder (2001), Heidi Brown (2002), Kristina Cristofori (2004) and Amanda Sudore (2011).
